Sauvion Pouilly Fumé Les Ombelles is sourced from hillside vineyards around Pouilly-sur-Loire where Sauvignon Blanc thrives on marl and compact limestone soils. The Loire’s cool, semi-continental climate gives particularly pure, smoky-mineral whites. The bouquet offers delicate citrus, green apple, white flowers and a hint of flint. On the palate the wine is dry, linear and very elegant, combining juicy fruit with a cool, stony character. Crisp, precise acidity delivers great freshness and drive. A long, subtly saline finish makes it a classic match for fish, seafood and tangy goat’s cheese.
Where Atlantic air cools the Val de Loire, Sauvion has shaped a distinctly Muscadet-minded identity since 1935. With Château du Cléray at its heart in the Nantes vineyards, the house pairs close relationships to Sèvre et Maine parcels with the discipline of a long-standing Loire wine trade, guided today by a new generation of the Sauvion family....
Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, aromatic white grape known for citrus, gooseberry, herbs, passion fruit and lively acidity. It ranges from mineral Loire styles to expressive New World wines.
It pairs with goat cheese, asparagus, salads, seafood, sushi, ceviche and herb sauces. A refreshing classic for lovers of vibrant white wines.
